Easy Quick Pickled Onions

This is one of the recipes you didn’t know you needed!You will always find several pickle options in my fridge like Lebanese cucumber pickles, Kimchi, French cornichons, whole pepperoncini… and recently you can add homemade Pickled Onions to that list. I just love a small bite of tangy pickles to balance the richness of a dish, to brighten my pita pocket creations (think about the falafel!!), as part of the Tuna and White Bean Salad or to complement a potato salad.

This is a recipe for “refrigerator pickles”; it does not involve canning methods and long conservation techniques. It is easy to prepare so I make one batch at a time. I like to use a red onion for the color. It’s pink. Count me in!! I love the flavors of the apple cider vinegar in this kind of “everyday pickles”. It goes well with the mediterranean flavors of my daily cuisine.
